Shipyard / Defense interface changes

I would like to suggest an upgrade to the Shipyard and Defense interface.

Currently, you can enter the number of ships/defenses you want to build in the Shipyard and Defense pages. I would like to see the maximum number of each ship/defense that can be built with the current resources on the planet/moon.

Also, if you click on the number displayed it populates it the number of ships/defenses to build into the form entry.

This will help gauge how many ships/defenses can be built at a glance.

Example: Say I want to build some Battleships. I go to the Shipyard. Above the form entry for the Battleship it will give me the maximum number of Battleships I can build. I click on the maximum number and it auto-populates the form entry.

Great idea, big yes from me.

Only one problem (not really a problem just an observation); if the max you can build is greater than 5000, it will only build 5000 regardless of the number transferred into the box.

Good point Tom.

The max build, of course, would not be affected.

If I can build 10000 BS with my current resources and click the "max link" and hit build, then only 5000 BS are built. I would have to go back and do it again to get the additional 5000 BS. ;)

That was just an example, right? You don't actually HAVE that much res? :drool:

Yes. This is just an example. But I will keep you guessing. ;)
